age, and the head of wholesale hardware

was not struck. The wounded man walked
to the room of his mistress, who lives in
the suburbs of the city in strict retirement,
and two physicians were summoned.
Every effort was made to cover his identity,
he even going so far as to beg to be moved
out of the city in his precarious condition.
The news created considerable excitement.
Hotchkiss is handsome. wealthy and pop
ular man, and strong in financial circles as
well as in society, where he is leader in
fashionable circles. He is engaged to a
beautiful young lady, member of one of
the proudest families in the State. His
condition is such that he cannot be re-
moved to his residence, and he now lies at
the home of his mistress.

noxious dose to be swallowed eompla-
Gently by the members of the Court.
1t Is taken for granted that a Southern
man will get the office, and the appoint
ment of Senator Morgan, of Alsbama,
would give satisfaction to majority of the
members of the Court He is lawyer of
great ability, and although 63 years of age,
enjoys robust health.
Another gentleman favorably spoken Of
Tor the appointment is Representative
Hammond, of Georgia. Chairman of tie
Judiciary Committee OF the 49th Congress-
Hammond is 81 years of age, and a fine
lawyer. Other candidates for the place
whose names are mentioned are Justice
Lindsey, of the Kentucky Supreme Bench
Chief Justice Sims, of the Mississippi Su-
preme Court; Secretary Lamar, ex-Repre-
sentative j. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia,
and Senator Pugh, of Alabama.
The general impression is that the Presi-
Gent viii appoint Democrat from the
south to the otfice-a man not far beyond
the prime of life, of good talents and capa-
city for great deal of hard work.

Flattering Report on the California Cable
Car System.

WASHINGTON, May 15th.-[Special. /
President Henry Hurt and Charles C.
Glover, the committee appointed by the
Washington and Georgetown Street Rail-
road Company, of this city, to examine the
various lines of cable roads in the cities of
the United States, have returned from San
Francisco. They will recommend the
adoption of the cable system in Washing
ton. President Hurt says they found the
finest system of cable roads in San Fran
cisco, and will duplicate the Market-street
line here. Mr.. Hurt says of this line:
The cars are thirty-two feet long, two
thirds of their length being closed, and are
mounted on trucks, so that they can turn
curves with ease. They will carry 100
passengers, and are nearly always crowded.
A speed of from nine to ten miles an hour
is steadily maintained. No accidents oc-
cur, for people are cautious, and teams
quickly leave the track when they hear the
gong, which is placed over the gripman's
head. The whole plant is of great 81 lidity.
No wood is used about the tracks, even for
ties. If had to duplicate any one plant
tomorrow, would select i.aat of the San
Francisco company"

WASHINGTON, May 15th.-[SpeciaI. The
Justices OF the Supreme Court are taking
lively interest in the appointment Of sue
cessor to Associate Justice Woods 1t is
hoped that the appointment will be made
as soon as il can decntly be done after the
burial of the dead jurist. The work before
the Court is so voluminous that the presence

for the summers work on the different

States OF Georgia, Florida Alabama, Mis-

The Justices take an interest in the selec-

to be agreed, and that is, that they do not

A CURIOUS PLANT EFFECT leaves
of climbing plant of India, G3mnema syl-
sestre, have lately been discovered to pos
sess the peculiar property of destroying the
tongues power to appreciate sweets and
bitters, causing quinine and sugar to taste
like chalk and sand. The taste of pungent
and saline substances, astringents and
acids, is not affected. The taste of the
leaves themselves IS bitterish, astringen,
and slightly acid, and their effects last for
an hour or two after they have been
chewed. In experiments in Italy Il has
! been shown that various drugs alIect whal
seem to be different sets of tasie nerves

Rain Needed in the Crop Region.


CHICAGO, May 15th-Following is the
weekly crop report printed by the Fdrmers'

that while some localities were favored
with seasonable rains, others and the

in its continued absence crops will suffer
seriously Reports on the condition of
winter wheat continue fairly favorable.
While the showing on the whole is fairly
| good for the time these reports were for
| warded it remains a fact that continued
dry weather will materially reduce these
percentages of condition. Throughout al
| most the entire territory covered by our
| reports the meadows ana pastures are re-
ported as needing rain.
